Hybrid Material Use in Architectural Hardware: Glass Bonding Technology and Surface Analysis in Aluminum Door Handles

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of glass bonding technology on the
mechanical and aesthetic performance of aluminum door handles. The methodology includes
integrating glass onto a curved aluminum body using bonding technology and examining the
resulting hybrid structure's corrosion resistance and ergonomics. A significant aspect is the
rarity of this technology in the hardware sector, which facilitates total surface integrity. Main
findings show that bonding technology significantly increases product durability while
creating a continuous visual language with the door surface. Ultimately, this research offers
an alternative solution for architectural hardware designs by demonstrating that material
innovation can enhance structural resilience while presenting a minimal and contemporary
aesthetic.
